This coin was struck by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2017, weighing 1 Troy oz. of .9999 pure silver with the legal tender value of five Canadian dollars. It is the 29th coin in the ever-popular Silver Maple leaf series. The Silver Maple Leaf was first released in 1988 as the official silver bullion of Canada and quickly became one of the Mint's most popular coins.

Adorned by an intricate maple leaf

The obverse features the effigy of Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This is the fourth portrait of the Queens to be featured on Canadian coinage and was designed by artist Susanna Blunt back in 2003.

The reverse features a large maple leaf which has been the recognizable National symbol of Canada since in the mid-1800s. To the right of the design a small micro-engraved maple leaf is seen. This leaf is actually a security feature used to ensure the authenticity of the bullion coinage.
